Revision of a manuscript’s format for submission to an alternate journal
Send your manuscript in Microsoft Word as an attachment to my email:
Editor (at) anitaksnyder (dot) com
Prices are based on the number of words in the document, as tallied by “Word Count” when I receive the manuscript. This is a upfront, quantitative way to determine cost. I do not charge a “handling” or “processing” fee.
I will make heavy use of Microsoft Word’s Track Changes and Comment features. A document on using these is available upon request.
Please send me the name of the journal and the instructions for authors from the journal to which you plan to submit. A sample article may be helpful, as I may not have access to the journal's PDFs.
If you are unsure as to which service to select, I would recommend one above what you think you may need. As I read through, I will determine if I can charge at the lower rate.
Your manuscript, grant or other scientific communication will be handled with the utmost confidentiality. Your document will be seen by one person, me, Anita K. Snyder. I do not subcontract out manuscripts to be edited by unknown entities, and I stand behind my work. I will sign a confidentiality agreement if desired, as provided by you. Your files will be deleted from my computer one month after I have returned them to the author, unless otherwise instructed.
Recommendations are my source of business! If you would like to refer my services to a friend or colleague, please direct them to www.anitaksnyder.com
All prices are in US dollars. I prefer payment through PayPal.
I look forward to working with you to get your data published!
